IN THE DAY’S NEWS
In the news columns we read that
Congress is going home, which is
all right with us; that Greece pro-
poses to tax bachelors above 40 only
half of what those between 24 and
40 pay, thus providing an incentive
for those who reach young manhood
without marrying to hold out a few
years longer; that Madalyne Oben-
chain of Los Angeles is to exile her
self to a remote island in the Paci-
fic, which the country will bear up un-
der; and that Mr. Ponzi would rath-
er die than go back to Massachus-
etts, which slight to be taken hard
by all true New Englanders.
It was the wise saying of an old-
time editor, that an editorial was
simply a man speaking to men, while
the news was Providence speaking to
men. In the news here summarized
perhaps Providence has a message
but we don’t know what it is.—Kan-
sas City Star.

cial train loaded with East Texas
, boys and girls who will attend the
Farmers’ Short Course at College
Station the first week in August will
i leave Longview Junction at 8 o’clock,

I East Texas Special to the Short
j Course and a number of county and
home demonstration agents have
promised their co-operation.
A delegation of 18 will join the
train from Mt. Pleasant, according to
information received from Mrs. Beu-
lah Murphree, county home demon-
stration agent there. Several other
agents have indicated that boys and
girls from their counties will be
aboard the train.
Letters outlining the project have
been sent to county and home demon-
stration agents and chambers of com-
merce in 22 East Texas counties, by

Fruit Situation
Muddled Friday
NEW BUYER RAISES PRICE AND
GOT NEARLY ALL THE
PEACHES
B. L. Rrown returned Friday to
White City, after spending several
days here with relatives.
The fruit market got in something
of a jam Friday morning, when the
price was raised from $1.00 to $1.25
when a new buyer appeared on the
scene.
! S. W. Webber began offering the
advance on the fruit early Friday
morning, and as the other buyers
J did not raise their price, he soon
had practically all of the peaches
stacked up in one corner of the ol<*
Compress shed. Having just started
in the market, Mr. Webber had no
i sorting tables for the cullers to
work on, so had to wait until these
could be made before he could be-
gin paying for the fruit, and this
brought the loading to a standstill
for several hours.
j Friday morning there had been
: shipped out a total of 8 cars, divided
as follows: Smith & Gregory 3;
Gregory & Roach 3; F. C. Penning-
ton 2. Each of these buyers had
another, ear partially filled.
Joe Harrison of (Greenville was
here on business Thursday.

FERGUSON’S PREDICTIONS
Jas. E. Ferguson, in his Forum
of Thursday, July 15th, gave his
predictions as to the outcome of the
Governor’s race in the first Primary.
He gave the vote by counties, using
the returns of the second primary in
1924 as the basis. In Titus county
he gives Mrs. Ferguson the same
vote she received in the second Pri-
mary two years ago. or 1,971 votes,
while he allows all his opponents the
exact amount that Robertson receiv
ed, or 1,086. Somehow, we think
Jim made a little mistake in his cal-
culations.
Ice Cream for Hot Days
Ice Cream has become almost an essential summer
food and always solves the problem of what to
serve for dessert. You can save yourself both trou-
ble and money by getting your cream from us. We
have several flavors to select from.

STOP AND THINK
Crops are fine, prospects were never better for both a good
feed crop and also cotton crop, but are we going to lose our heads
and spend more than we can pay? This is really a serious matter
and every individual should stop and think shout the matter. Do
net let the prospects for a good crop influence you in going into
debt too much is our advice.
Plan to save and bank some of your money and you will not
only have money but will be building yourself credit.
We will appreciate your opening your account, if not already
a customer, and assure you that we will do our utmost to servo
you satisfactorily.
